SciFi Art Now is a book collecting some of the best in contemporary science fiction art by a wide range of creators. The book, edited by John Freeman, includes an introduction by the legendary Chris Foss and is on sale now in all good bookshops.

Very much a collaborative effort, the book features plenty of Oliver's current work, ranging from digital painting to sculpture and photo manipulation to book cover creation and caricature - even whimsical illustration.

"The intention was to make the book a work of art in itself, a showcase of over 50 images," Oliver explains, "thoughtfully selected and graphically framed with tastefully complementing colour schemes."

Utilising the blurb self-publishing platform, the 80-plus page book is being offered in two sizes and in softcover and hardcover. The selction of imagery throughout is stunning, including images featured in SciFi Art Now but much more besides.

The art is gorgeous, displaying Oliver's range and styles with maximum impact and effectiveness. It includes a range of stunning work - but also offers insights into the art's creation, with step-by step 'snapshots' of his creation process.

Oliver's work has deservedly garnered plenty of praise during his career, and author Howard Lewis is effusive about his creations.

"The only thing I have found more enjoyable than writing exciting stories of alien creatures, fantastic spacecraft and galactic war is seeing my concepts come to life in the capable hands of Oliver Wetter," he enthuses on the book's cover.

"This book is an investment any serious art book collector can not afford to miss," he adds. It's a recommendation I have no hesitation in echoing here.
